Japan's Takeda Pharmaceutical has granted Sun Pharmaceutical
and Cipla the rights to commercialize Vonoprazan, a gastrointestinal drug, in
India. Vonoprazan, sold as tablets under the brand name "Voltapraz,"
blocks a crucial step in stomach acid production, according to Sun Pharma's
announcement on Friday. Cipla shared the agreement a day earlier.
Takeda has provided both companies with non-exclusive patent
licensing rights for the drug, aimed at treating gastroesophageal reflux
disease (GERD), which affects 5% to 28.5% of India's population.
Earlier this month, Torrent Pharmaceuticals also struck a
deal with Takeda to market Vonoprazan in the Indian market, expanding the
availability of this treatment for GERD patients.
